Is this a general problem ? On Mendip we mostly use Warmbac oversuits as the factory is local. I have been using a Warmbac oversuit bought second hand from a digging mate who said that it had got too small for him. It was size XXL + and as I am only 5ft 8 with a 38 inch chest it looked ridiculously large on me. I was having to turn up the leg bottoms six inches. Now after quite a few digging sessions and a pressure wash each time it almost fits perfectly. Therefore I can only assume that I have either grown six inches or the suit has continued to shrink. I recall previous suits I had. Bought correctly to size but becoming increasingly harder to get out of. So what to do?
Buy a much larger suit than necessary, look a twit for several months until it shrinks to fit. Or buy the correct size per list then find that you cant get out of it unaided. Is this a problem with other Cordura suits ?
